Verdict: This collection is super hydrating and doesn’t dry my lips out at all. The matte collection are not complete matte, but more like a semi matte. It feels creamy on the lips, but it doesn’t look or feel thick. It feels more like a light/thin formula and it’s very pigmented. It’s also long lasting. Sinful Cinnamon is my perfect everyday go-to shade. I wear it with anything and it looks gorgeous. The only thing I don’t like is that they’re a bit drying once you’ve had them on for a while but that’s not unexpected from matte collection. My final verdict, I will give this collection 4 stars. The collection has beautiful colors. In order to counteract the drying effect I use a lip primer that moisturize my lips. I often use a very thin layer of Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask that completely counteracts any drying affects and is my go to lip moisturizer. It’s available at Sephora for $26. You can also use your favorite lip primer or thin layer of chapstick as a base.
